Group camping in Virginia offers an exceptional variety of settings for reunions, scout troops, youth organizations, and multi-family gatherings across the Commonwealth's diverse landscapes. From the Blue Ridge Mountains to the Shenandoah Valley and Northern Virginia's accessible forests, the state provides purpose-built group facilities designed to accommodate gatherings ranging from intimate family reunions to large organized events with 50 or more participants.

Best Time

Tips & Recommendations

  • 1Reserve group campsites 6-8 months in advance for peak season weekends, as Virginia's most popular group facilities like Turkey Run Ridge and Sherando Lake book quickly for spring and fall dates.
  • 2Confirm exact capacity limits and vehicle parking restrictions when booking—some group camps limit the number of cars allowed, requiring carpooling or shuttle arrangements for larger gatherings.
  • 3Designate a site coordinator to arrive early for check-in and site orientation, as group camps often have specific rules about fire locations, quiet hours, and activity boundaries that differ from family campgrounds.
  • 4Bring extra tarps and rope for communal dining areas, as weather can change quickly in mountain locations—a 20x20 tarp over picnic areas transforms rainy gatherings into comfortable experiences.
